Disney Reveals Plans for Cars/Planes Spinoff Set in Space

Disneytoon Studios, an animation division of Walt Disney Pictures, is charting course for space. At the company-run D23 Expo’s animation presentation, executive John Lasseter revealed plans for a Cars/Planes spinoff movie set in outer space. The film hasn’t been given a title.

Lasseter emphasized the research into real-life aviation that went into the film, and then showed a demo reel that he called a “Speed Test” — featuring two jets racing through a desert landscape, and then leaving the stratosphere and journeying into space. A title card read: “Disney: Space,” but was quickly joined by more words — ultimately reading, “This Space to Be Filled by a Title When We Think of One.”

“It is harder to come up with a title then it is to go to space,” Lasseter said jokingly.
